Just tried a couple of HS missions, and the bots don't seem to want to fight. Not that I'm against free XP or anything, but it is sort of boring.

As far as I can tell, they shoot once then stop shooting and just fly around you until they die.

The Leviathan was firing a few shots, but that's about it.

Sam (a newb, apparently).

Do you find this to be the case in any of the smaller HS missions?

I did a small mission first, and finished it easily because nothing was shooting back. NPCs were also doing much the same - bots and NPCs were mostly just circling each other but not shooting.

Then I tried a Central mission, and that had the same issue, though the cap ship was firing on a regular basis.

New bots seemed to fire a single volley, then stop shooting.

Sam.

I got the same problem too...

When I arrive (I did small and large) everybody is fighting. But then all abruptly stop shooting. They still fly like they are fighting. Bots will "engage" me, but they won't fire.

There is one exception. The first time a bot "engages" with me, it does fire once. But after that, we fly around each other, and it always keeps itself facing me, and when there are two, they do that trading off swooping thing, but they won't fire.

Hmm...

And a related behavior...

The second time I did a Small mission, and gave up after the bots wouldn't fight or leave. When I got back to the station, I tried aborting the mission, but it didn't let me leave the group. I went to the mission board to take a new one, but only Advanced Combat Practice was available. That's odd, since it was in Xiang Xi, and my character was Itan.

Even odder, after I accepted the mission, and left the group, the mission immediately became "completed" and the mission board came back up with new missions.

This has happened for me just randomly botting, no mission involved. Bots shoot a few times, then say ah, screw it and just let me blast thier faces off while they halfass dodge.

same for BP.
a few shoot you need to dodge then just get close and kill them without being shoot again.

most funny are orun guardians it is exactly 3 shoots they fire before they just float around you waiting to be shoot.

looks like the ai in general has a problem with firing..

This is still a problem, the levi was kinda active, but all the other bots fire 3 shots and then they just drift around till we shoot them... Btw this goes for all types of HS missions, both small and larger ones...

That is just rad.

We will fix this after the shutdown & release in a few hours.
